When I lived in Phoenix, one of my favorite restaurants was Dr. Andrew Weil's Kitchen. The food there is amazing! They make healthy eating fun and sexy. I went so much I was the Foursquare mayor several times of the Scottsdale location.

One of True Food Kitchen's signature dishes is their Tuscan Kale Salad. Here is the recipe for their version which contains Pecorino or Asiago cheese and bread crumbs. I made a version at home of their Tuscan Kale Salad that is vegan AND gluten-free.

For the kale, I got a bag of Tader Joe's pre-cut Organic Lacinato Kale. Instead of dairy cheese, I shaved some of Daiya's vegan Jalapeno Garlic Havarti Wedge. In place of bread crumbs, I pulverized walnuts in a food processor until it had the texture of bread crumbs. The crushed walnuts added the same texture as bread crumbs but with more protein, and safe for those avoiding gluten.

This Tuscan Kale Salad is so delicious, you can easily eat this every day!
